✚✚✚ sanji — @kickxsscook

*sneeze* I am *sneeze* more man than you are!!

Sanji's sneezes, albeit involuntary as all others, may very well be a declaration of belligerent intent; a campaign against that rule of both social etiquette and the simplest medical guideline, that sneezes ought to be contained in some kind of handkerchief or, in the absence of a square of fabric, projected sideways over a shirt or coat sleeve.

Law budged his body in a direction paralell to that of Sanji's expulsions, avoiding the rain of mucus in one suave step of his heeled boot. Some of the droplets coursed not just forwards into the open space, but downwards as well, splashing translucent over the cook's shirt, leaving behind tiny dots of wetness like a more revolting morning dew. He eyed them with distaste.

❝ Oh, yes.❞ He commented with a twisted nose and a more than deserved scowl. Though the glower set on his features as an unavoidable response to Sanji’s bold declaration, it quickly bloomed into a triumphant smirk, this expression so much more his. There was a certain grace to handling an affront with articulate mordacity in lieu of physical effort, and persuasion fit him like the proverbial glove. ❝ The very portrait of masculinity you are, what with your puffy, red eyes and shirt covered in nasal matter. An astonishing example of maleness no woman can refuse; I’m sure your navigator would agree. ❞

Bravado aside, Law did empathise with Sanji, as only befitting of a doctor in regards to a patient. In a tone of voice devoid of derision, so much so it sounded mellow by comparison, he added with professional worry, ❝ You don't have asthma, do you, Black Leg? ❞ All tomfoolery would cease at once should the patient bear the respiratory condition, and all feline visitors would have to be removed from the ship’s premises until Sanji’s organism cleared of allergens.

Mors, who had been sniffing the floorboards of the Sunny with the dedication of the chief-mouser he was — either not understanding his contract to be exclusive to the submarine and the jumpsuited crew, or too career-driven to get himself concerned over the human viewpoint of ownership — leapt into Law’s arms, causing Kikoku to waltz perilously for a moment before Law could catch both sword and cat. Mors purred, satisfied both with the result of his inspection and with his new position in Law’s arms. He stared at Sanji, green eyes flickering yellow in the direct sunlight, not too unlike Law's amber-turned-gold irises.

❝ Of course, you could wait for the reaction to pass once its cause has been removed. That’s what a virile man would do. ❞ Roronoa’s type, Law nigh advanced so as to further rile up his interlocutor. But a quick assertion of the Sunny’s current situation, with Mors and Nami’s fostered cats onboard, sufficed for an astute man to know Sanji’s allergies would be plaguing him for a while longer. His smarter choices were to either stow himself away from the bean-pawed guests or take some antihistamine and partake in everyone’s company.

Mors's eyes narrowed into slits. Looking into them, one could not help think the cat resented Sanji's allergies to a deep, personal level. He was a competent predator, a creature of independence who stalked the darkness. But he was also a very much coddled replacement for a more intimate companion his human of choice did not have as well. Thus, Mors was spoiled, and couldn’t fathom why anyone would not adore him. Or so he would, if cats shared the same psyche humans did.

❝ But seeing as you are the chef of the ship,❞ Law continued, cradling arms buffeted by the swishing of Mors’s tail, ❝ I won't risk you contaminating us all by sneezing into our luncheon. ❞ A practicality, yes, as well as a courtesy. It was not like Sanji’s suffering amused him — perhaps it did, the tiniest bit.

Speaking of exposure to infectious substances. Mayhap corrupted by the whimsical atmosphere which the Straw Hats bred and maintained, Law's hands locked under the cat��s front legs, holding them out as though they were arms. Very patiently did Mors allow Law his theatrics, his soft belly exposed and tail hanging in lazy circular motions. Law then puppeteered Mors’s spotted legs like a child would move their arms from beneath a white sheet in the manner of a ghost for a practical joke. The phantom of susceptibility to offer some help.

❝ I’ll ask Tony for some loratadine for you, shall I? ❞

#kickxsscook #implicit mention of chatcambrioleur #✚ | ❝ i have seen many things in a lifetime alone / mother love is no more ; bring this savage back home ❞ { v / main }#✚ | ❝ though i am blessed with an inner strength / some they would call it a penance ❞ { ic }

This one is going to be wordy.

Hello. I’m Jessica and I have some shit going on. This is supposed to be about my relationship with food so I’ll stick to that.

I have disordered eating.

Ouch. I’ve probably said that one other time. Ever. I make a lot of excuses. “It’s not ME because the meds (I’ve got some medical things… multiple sclerosis to name just one) messed up my stomach”…. Aka I don’t feel hunger until I’m nauseous. Which is true.

But it’s deeper. It’s longer. I grew up pretty poor. Still poor by the way. My family never went out to eat but I remember eating free cereal at the college my mothers husband was a security guard at. My mother would sometimes get taco bell after church and say to me “we have sandwich stuff at the house” when we really didn’t. An exciting dessert was dipping white bread in syrup. So what then? Scarcity food complex and some complex I don’t know the wording for that has to do with my basic needs not being met.

And then… when I was pretty young I started getting pretty sick. A doctor told me about food triggers and ever since then I’ve spiraled for around 30 years.

Won’t eat: msg, soy, too much dairy, tomato sauces, chocolate, peanuts, green candy, yeast extract, and MANY MANY MORE things. All because at one point I felt they were associated with a health episode.

Oh and I’m vegetarian.

My current diet quiet literally is as follows. Around 12 I eat a tortilla with cheese, tortilla chips, possibly a soft pretzel, and handfuls of dry cereal. Sometimes I’ll mix it up and have a baked potato. Like a couple times a month at most. Then I pass the fuck out. Dinner happens anywhere from 9-11 pm. It is always a tortilla with quinoa beans quac and cheese. I eat it with tortilla chips. Then I binge dry cereal almond butter and Graham crackers till I once again pass out. And I always wake up anxious and nauseated. Like I’ve eaten sharp bricks.

I weigh 103 lbs. I am 5foot7. Just for posterity. I don’t want to be this size personally. I’d like to get about 30lbs on at least.

So I’m going to cook. I’m going to eat. I don’t know how to do either of those things. So I did what no one does anymore and went to the bookstore.

I think these are fucking gold and together they were under $20. Thanks used book store.

The new professional chef one is daunting.

There is that much to learn before I even touch a knife. And a lot of food issues to be dealt with along the way. Gods I hope I keep this up.

But while I read:learn all that up there… I’ll hop on into how to bake… first up… IRISH SODA BREAD! Hey I’m Irish. I’ve never had Irish soda bread and the only bread I’ve made is a basic rustic loaf but I’ve got buttermilk in the fridge so stay tuned…

🖤

Ps: if you have issues with food… let’s chat.

The Medical Industry in the US needs a dispensary for prescribed diets.

I’m talking about prepackaged and preprepared or easy-to-prepare meals, snacks and fluids as a part of outpatient care.

You can’t just give a patient a list of dietary restrictions and a 30 minute appointment with some vague guidance and then send them on their way. I’ve been watching a family member the last three weeks be miserable on a liquid diet for pre-surgery and the biggest struggle isn’t the diet itself, it’s that the list the doctor and dietitian gave her is only some suggested guidelines and half of the recommended things she can have on the list aren’t available anywhere. Also, when I say the guidelines are vague - her doctor during the pre surgical meeting yesterday chastised her for buying low-sodium broth, when the reason she bought low-sodium is because in her last meeting with the dietitian, low-sodium was verbalized as a positive. Also the low-sodium broth met all the other requirements on the list?

1) dietitians and nutritionists should be responsible for putting together a comprehensive meal plan with specifics and instructions - it should be a perfectly reasonable expectation that a person who’s job is to understand how our bodies are affected by what we eat, and what effects the things we eat have on our bodies, be able to provide comprehensive recipes that are tailored to patients diets. Cause guess what - people expect chefs to be able to do it on the fly in professional kitchens. You think working with and around dietary constraints hasn’t become one of the hottest selling skills the last 8 years?

You can’t tell me that it’s reasonable to expect an overworked line cook to do that and not a dietitian or a nutritionist.

2) There are too many patients who, once they are sent home, go off whatever necessary food restrictions they’re meant to be on because they don’t have the proper support or knowledge or experience to maintain their nutritional health. If we want health care to be wholistic, we need to make medically required diets and food restrictions more accessible for outpatient care.

Like - imagine being able to pop over to the pharmacy (or have a delivery!! We can do that, think about all the meal kit deliveries traveling around right now) or some kitchen dispensary near a hospital complex, turning in a script and getting one or two weeks worth of portioned meals, everything is measured out with easy use instructions and dates/times, because you just had surgery and can’t do certain strenuous activities, but popping a frozen meal to heat up in the microwave or the oven isn’t too strenuous - or maybe you’re on your chemo cycle, and those are so fucking miserable already but at least you don’t have to worry about figuring out what to put in a calorie-dense smoothie because it’s already thrown together in a sealed cup (nice fat straw included) you can dump in a blender tomorrow and right back into the disposable cup to drink - or maybe you’re on a liquid diet for five weeks and then on limited soft foods for four weeks after that, but at least you don’t have to worry about hunting down the only things you can have in four different grocery stores.

And maybe doctors will have less recurring patients when, if sending them home, they know that the patient will have more of a chance staying on their medical diet during recovery because they have more accessible options, rather than a vague list of instructions.

Bandaid - R.Buckley

part of new shorts series called Domestic vibes that is cute, little stories based on simple seemingly not big life events ✨🫶

stories will not be connected to each other; steve/eddie/billy/robin x reader

the one where Robin cuts her finger

words: 398

masterlist

What Robin loved the most was her girlfriend Y/n and going on dates with her.

The thing that hurt her he most was the fact that she couldn’t show off her girl without any judgment and raging homophobia. And what was a date without stolen kisses and hand holding?

But they found a solution very quickly. To think about it, it actually was so much better than public dates where they couldn’t freely talk and be themselves.

So to satisfy their needs of love and affection they organised weekly movie nights and dinner dates where they were able to cook together, watch some old and new movies from Robin’s workplace and feel the atmosphere of a happy domesticity.

It was well know to everyone that Robin wasn’t the most coordinated person on this planet. She was clumsy, careless and little messy. But Y/n didn’t care; she loved her with all of her heart and didn’t mind the constant need of taking care of blonde haired girl.

When the another Friday came, it meant only one thing - their weekly cooking date.

Neither of them was professional chef but they couldn’t care less. It was fun even when the food they made wasn’t the best one.

“I’m telling you. I don’t think I ever saw something sadder that Steve’s poor attempts to charm the girls. It almost pains me watch him ask those girls out. I don’t know who is actually in the worst position- Steve having to listen to all those rejections or the girls having to actually reject this cute puppy face of him. It’s just…” her rambling was cut short with exclamation of pain.

Y/n put her knife down and immediately turned her head towards her girlfriend. What she saw wasn’t a big surprise. The index finger of Robin’s right hand was covered in blood

“Oh baby, I told you this many times. If you have a story sit down and calmly say it. I don’t know how many more bandaids I have in my medical kit.” Robin blushed furiously at the comment and mumbled apologies.

Y/n rolled her eyes and kissed her to stop her from another rumbling session.

“C’mon you goof, I will dress your wound” and she did what she said - with care and delicacy, always afraid of hurting her girlfriend even more.

That were the Robin’s favourite domestic moments.

-Season Two:

(Also warning for violence and torture probably)

The second season begins with Anik tied to a chair in front of a glass window as he gains consciousness. He is interrogated by the program leader who questions him about where the others escaped to. He says he doesn’t know bc he wasn’t involved in that part, and she doesn’t take kindly to that. After he doesn’t give her the information, she grabs his face and points it toward the window where he sees Megan cuffed to a wall. The leader makes an order and Megan is aggressively beaten by a security guard wielding a tasing staff (hehe I’m this guy, I love beating her up, sorry). Anik struggles against his restraints and yells at the leader to stop it. She simply stands back and watches, saying that he just needs to give her the location of the escaped subjects. Since he doesn’t know, this goes on for a while until they are thrown into a cell until further notice. Anik tends to her wounds using strips of his jacket while they just sit and wait, hoping this doesn’t repeat (it does a few times). After who knows how long, they are both weak and tired. Anik is frustrated and guilt ridden at what’s happening, while Megan sees it as what she deserves for what she did to her friends. They both think they are hallucinating when alarms begin to go off. Then a stranger breaks into their cell and orders them to follow them. They follow to an awaiting escape ship along with some other people who were rescued. But Megan gets caught on the barrier again. They frantically explain to the stranger and he points out her arm port thing, saying it’s probably that and they need to cut out of her arm before it’s too late. He gives Anik a knife but he doesn’t want to. Megan takes the knife from him and cuts the chunk of skin off, allowing them to rush into the ship. Receiving frantic medical care, they realize that they did it. They escaped.

Throughout the season, their rescuer explains that he managed to escape on a mission after finding out the truth and brought it to the attention of a protection organization who began working to help free them. While most of the subjects had been saved (by Zelda and Xander) those in the prison block were rescued then. After arriving on earth they all split up in order to not be tracked as they’re traveling to the organization’s various locations. While Megan and Anik do have to split up, they’re assured that they will end up at the same place (which is little consolation). Megan ends up traveling with a newish character: Talon. Talon would’ve appeared in one of the filler episodes as, unbeknownst to Megan, a spy trying to get them out. He and she would spend a lot of time together and become really close until one day Talon disappeared. His cover was blown so he had to return to earth and Megan’s mind was wiped of the memories for security reasons.

Talon

Talon had always tried to help people. He wanted to help them to do what they always wanted to do. It was weird coming from him though, since he could never figure out what he wanted to do. He’d tried a lot of passions in his youth, hoping to find that one thing, but it never quite clicked. That is until he decided to become a professional chef. Well, maybe not a professional, but he fell in love with the culinary arts. He just wanted to cook for people. The only problem was he had no way of doing this. For now, he was kicked out of his parent’s house and working as a truck driver. One day, as he was driving along an empty road, chaos erupted as two cars sped towards him. One of them slammed into the back of his truck, knocking him off the road. The next thing he knew, he was waking up in a weird looking hospital. The people explained to him that they were part of an organization that would be helping people trapped in some program. What happened on the road was Talon getting caught in the crossfire. Talon knew it was a wild shot, but he asked if they had any available job slots. After all, they put him in a hospital so they kind of owed him, and they seemed like a government organization. They probably paid better than his current job. They were caught off guard by the question and said they’d have to get back to him. It took a few weeks but eventually he did get a call regarding an opportunity. It was really risky, and he would essentially be a spy, which he wasn’t too sure about. But then he found out how many people had been lost to the program and he couldn’t back out. He agreed to go on the mission. He acted as new security for the program called the Orion Initiative where he would try to gather inside information that could help to get the people out of there. He found the information while he was there, but he also found love? a friend. One of the subjects he had to talk to was Megan, a person who’d been there the longest and who was also one of the human experiments. They spent a lot of time together, until one day, Talon’s cover was blown. He barely made it out alive but he never got to tell Megan where he went. It had always made him upset, and he wanted to keep helping to help the people escape. But unfortunately he could go on any more missions. The payment from the job was good enough to start renting an apartment as he drove trucks and did odd jobs for the company. He couldn’t leave until he knew they made it out. One day, they picked a space ship on a sensor coming quickly to earth. Talon went with them to investigate, and it was a bunch of the subjects he had met. But Megan wasn’t there. With help from those subjects, the organization was able to launch a rescue to get the remaining people out of there, and all Talon could do was wait for them to return. He supposed he was getting pretty worked up over almost nothing since he was probably barely an acquaintance to her, but he just wanted to make sure she was fine. Finally the group returned, and just his luck, he was paired with her for the transport to the refugee facility. This was gonna be great.

They spend several days driving across the country as they rekindle their friendship and get to know each other (again). Eventually, Talon lets Megan and Anik live with him while they don’t have anywhere to go. Until they are found by the Orion Initiative and have to live on the run for some time. This is where filler episodes will be while the three become closer and are hunted by the organization. This will set up and perhaps get into Talon and Megan’s romantic relationship as Megan gains a sense of independence and identity. Talon will learn that she needs time before getting into a serious relationship. Anik will learn to finally be comfortable in this group.

In this season finale, they will reunite with Zelda and Xander to bring down the program once and for all. They will accept that they’ve all grown into different people that no longer fit anymore and will go different ways- Zelda and Xander going to college in hopes of having a normal life and Talon, Megan, and Anik working with the organization on other projects.

Oh boy this opens up the opportunities teehee season 2 filler is gonna be so fun bc I have a bunch of freedom bc they’re on the run. They can be anywhere I want them to be. Tagging you again this is the last one ^^ @banana-pancake5

I’m in a lore spilling mood and this needs to be done at some point so now is good. Better buckle up bc idk how long this is gonna be and I don’t even know what exactly I’ll go into. (Little warning for some violence) So without further ado, please enjoy the story of

The Orion Initiative

-Season One:

This is the story of four teens who all find themselves in alien hunting program- the Orion Initiative. They, among many others, apply for this opportunity and are accepted to receive their training and employment on the Orion’s spaceship. These four meet and come together as friends as they discover the more sinister side to this program in an episodic format (that quietly sets up the “big problem” in the background). Let’s meet the cast.

Megan

Megan had grown up on this spaceship, specifically in the area dedicated to scientific research. She was part of the research after all. Megan didn’t know what exactly had been done to her over the years, but she knew she was different. It was hard to compare herself to other people though since this ship and the people on it were all she’d known. Well, it was all she knew until the program began. Megan watched from afar for a few years as strangers came to live on the ship. She didn’t get too many opportunities to interact with them, nor was she allowed to, but she didn’t mind. Just to observe was enough. But one year, when the next wave of trainees flooded the halls and she watched them bumble about excitedly while getting her enhancements, one of the scientists told her the news. She would be joining the program this year. Megan was admittedly very nervous. She had alarmingly little information about this program despite her proximity to it, and she would be thrust into the midst of these strangers. Regardless of her thoughts about it, it was happening. Her few belongings were moved into a new room she would share with another girl, who looked like she could be her own age. The other girl looked up and walked over quickly, sticking her hand out in front of her. “Hi, I’m Zelda! I guess, we’re roommates?” Megan wasn’t sure what to think at first; this girl seemed strange and different, but not bad. Later, Zelda gave her a knotted bracelet. It had meant that they were friends, she told her. Megan didn’t take it off.

Zelda

Zelda had it all going for her. She was about to finish high school with a 4.0 GPA, the had a group of friends and family that loved her, and she was lined up to go to her dream college on a scholarship. So why didn’t it feel right? She’d been preparing for this moment for so long, but it felt like something was missing, like she should be doing something more. That was when she discovered something- the Orion Initiative, an elite program where she could live in space and be professional trained to hunt aliens. That definitely sounded better than going to a stale college for the next few years. Besides, this program was training and a guaranteed job with compensated room and board. It was literally the total package. And if she ended up hating it, college would still be there… After rearranging her plans, Zelda was soon packed and saying her goodbyes to her friends and family. She would miss them, but it was time she did something exciting with her life. After arriving and setting up her things in her room, she met her new roommate. Her roommate seemed a little closed off at first, but after gifting her a friendship bracelet, they seemed to click. Plus, when she was going around and meeting some other new recruits her age, she met a guy who was really cute. As it turned out, he and his friend’s room were in the same hallway as hers. This was going to be great.

Xander

Xander had a job to do. He had been researching this program for years, but the internet didn’t hold much about it. The Orion Initiative- the website vaguely described it as a program that would train and employ its applicants to hunt the aliens that could pose a threat to earth. It was advertised as completely voluntary, you can drop out at any time, you can always stay in touch with your loved ones. But if that was the case, then why did his brother just disappear? There had been nothing from him since he left. Xander had texted and called him everyday, but the phone didn’t even ring. His mom said that he was probably just distracted and busy with his new work, but she was one to talk. She was always busy and distracted; it would be hard for her to really realize something was wrong with this. So now, he had a job to do. His mom thought she was seeing him off to the airport as he flew to his university, but that wasn’t exactly true. He hoped she wouldn’t have to find out what was happening, that it was all just a misunderstanding and his brother just didn’t have service. Maybe he could really go to university one day. But not now. Xander was cautious and observant as he navigated the spacecraft. In any other circumstance, it might’ve been pretty cool. He asked around about his brother (“Do you know Jake Lee?”), but everyone there was new like him. He met a few people, like his roommate and girl who seemed really sweet, but he could still sense that something was off about this place. And he was going to figure it out.

Anik

Anik needed to get out. He was sick of everything. Sick of school. Sick of his parents. He just needed to get away. He needed to do something to get his mind off of things; he needed some control over his life. He had been scrolling on his phone when he was given a strange ad, boasting a great program where applicants could be trained to hunt aliens? Anik was intrigued. The website didn’t say many specifics, but it completely covered training and living costs? This was perfect. Anik would practically be paid to do dangerous stuff, and his parents might finally get off his back about his plans for the future. It was almost too good to be true. He was definitely doing this. After a little while of preparing everything, he was off to this program. He arrived and put his things in his room, where he met his roommate. The guy was pretty chill, but he did seem to be looking for some guy named Jake. He was a little preoccupied in Anik’s opinion since they were on a literal spaceship, but he didn’t care too much. He and Xander went to meet people soon after, and Anik had to hold himself back from cringing when they met this one girl. By the way those two were looking at each other, he could tell they would definitely be seeing her again. After quietly backing out of that conversation, he made his way around to some other people- he wanted to know what exactly they would be doing for this training. No one he found knew though, since they were all new. He guessed that the people who had already been through training must be in a different location. It didn’t really matter too much to him though. This was the start of the coolest thing he’d done in his life, and he was gonna make it count.

After coming together, the gang will go on to partake in little adventures as they learn life lessons and grow their relationships with one another. Zelda becomes the self-appointed leader of the group with her confident and competent nature and her ability to think quickly. Megan feels sort of out of place within the group and usually just follows Zelda around and lets her do the decision making. Xander is a sort of instigator who will pull the team into investigating certain situations, but will always be quick to help whenever they need it. Anik feels uncomfortable in the group dynamic but eventually comes to find his place as the heart and protector of the team. The leader of this program (who Megan knew as a sort of mother) often interacts with them specifically, giving them their missions and seeing to their concerns.

In one of the very important plot episodes, the team is training. The training takes place in a closed and monitored forest environment on one of the planets that’s used to test before field work. Somehow, a strange alien makes it into the training area where it’s not supposed to be. The team is able to exterminate it and move on. Soon after, Megan (the one in closest contact with it) begins to feel and act strange. The other three become worried as she becomes more animalistic and aggressive. This comes to a head when Megan’s eyes turn completely dark and begin leaking a dark liquid. Her mouth begins to foam and her breathing technology is damaged, but she attacks them and runs away. The team tries to get out but everything is locked down. They are trapped in the training area with their friend who seems to be infected by some exposure to an alien and is now trying to kill them. The rest of the episode depicts them waiting for the doors to open as they try to escape. First, she emerges from the shadows and slams Ivan against the ground, effectively knocking him out. The other two begin to run as they hear but don’t see Megan in the plants around them. Next Megan knocks Zelda to the ground and throws several punches, but Zelda is able to fend her off with some of their equipment. Megan retreats momentarily before rushing Zelda from behind and knocking her down as she jumps for Xander. He puts up a fight as she pins him to the ground and, with a sickening crunch, rips his arm completely from its socket. Zelda runs back at this time and, although she doesn’t want to harm her friend, it’s past that. She shoots her in the leg causes Megan to run back into the darkness. It only takes a few minutes before the doors finally open and the three are rushed to the medical wing. They also tell the people about Megan, who is still in the environment and acting murderous. The people say they will take care of it. After a few hours, Megan comes to in the middle of a dark forest. Her breathing technology is broken, making her breaths very shallow and difficult. She’s covered in blood and a human arm lies in her lap. She’s there until morning, when she is found and taken to a lab. They said that the cause of the episode was due to the exposure to the strange alien. Even though she wasn’t in control of her actions, the whole team is uneasy about the experience and the relationships become slightly strained.

Subtly in each episode, the main plot is set up. The Orion Initiative, though claiming its purpose is to protect earth from aliens with a force of hunters, really is using the hunters in order to further their research. They need to stay in an alien infested place and because of this are vulnerable. These volunteers are sent out to “protect” the ship, but if they can’t, the aliens will be satisfied with a payment. There have been many different experiments to potentially enhance their hunters, so that they don’t have to lose so many people. Not many have been successful, although Megan is one of the few. The alien that got into the training area was planted there as an experiment.

In the season finale, the extent of the program’s villainy is discovered. After the gang confronts the program leader about, she explains the situation. She tells them about what’s really been happening (conveniently leaving out how many people have been killed thus far) but claims that they’ve only been researching in order to discover new methods of human mutation. If they can combine aliens and human dna, civilizations in space could be possible and utilized. They accept this answer at first, but the adventure of the episode leads them to the discovery of the death logs and failed experiments. As they look through the dark lab, they discover foggy glass capsules. A light switches on and they make a horrifying discovery. They are met face to face with the horribly mutated and disfigured face of past subjects in the glass capsules. They find information about how they were failed experiments and potential subjects that would be next, Megan’s name on the list. This causes panic. This program wasnt for helping people, it was for collecting canon fodder and voluntary subjects. They spread the news to the rest of the trainees and plan to make their escape by taking a smaller ship back to earth. Among the members of the main four, things grow more tense as Xander, arguably the most deeply affected by this, lashes out at Megan. He claimed she knew this whole time and had been helping them; that’s why she ripped off his arm. His brother was probably dead all bc of this place she was a part of. Megan tried to defend herself, but was uncertain. She always had listened to the program after all, and she did hurt her friends. Zelda almost couldn’t believe it. She wouldn’t think Megan would do that, but she’s practically admitting to it. “You really helped them do all of this?” she asked. Anik comes to her defense, reminding them that she wasn’t in her right mind when it happened, asking Megan if she wanted to help the program. She shook her head. “See?” he said. “She wouldn’t do it if she had a choice. We need to focus on getting out of here, not on this.” They all agree to put it aside for the moment and go on with their plan. After some interference with technology, they managed to cut some power and get everyone to the evacuation ship. As they’re running and get to the boundary between the main ship and the escape ship, Megan gets caught on an invisible barrier. She can’t cross over onto the ship. The others don’t notice until they begin to close things off. They realize that she’s stuck, but security begins to come towards the escape ship. There isn’t enough time. Zelda has to make a decision. She decides to prioritize the people on the ship and close the doors on Megan. She and Xander aren’t happy about it, but realize it has to be done. Anik can’t believe it and is shocked, telling her to stop the doors. She reasons that it’s too late for Megan. Anik runs at the closing doors and slides through at the last second, making it to Megan as the security closed in around them.

Nyehehe that was season one :D I’m gonna reblogged it with season two bc boy did it get lengthy. I wrote this out mainly bc I wanna make out of chronological order art and I needed to give yall context ^^ just gonna tag you here bud @banana-pancake5 :)

I really like this scene in A Private Little War. Spock’s injured and McCoy doesn’t know if he’s gonna live or not and both Kirk and McCoy are extra worried

MCCOY: He'll live or die now, Jim. I don't know which.

Jim doesn’t answer and continues to watch M’Benga scanning Spock. McCoy notices

Doctor M'Benga interned in a Vulcan ward. He couldn't be in better hands.

Jim smiles (because McCoy is trying to ease his worry) but immediately goes

KIRK: Then you and I are transporting down, Bones.

no hesitation. Spock’s in good hands, so he and McCoy can beam down to the planet again.

ofc McCoy protests

MCCOY: I can't leave Spock at this time.

because he is worried and it doesn’t really matter that another qualified doctor is there, he wants to be there if something goes wrong. Here, I’d also like to point out that contrary to what the fandom believes, if you watch the scenes, McCoy is actually in charge of taking care of Spock. That McCoy mentions that M’Benga interned in a Vulcan ward is to ease Jim’s worry. And Jim uses those words against McCoy.

KIRK: You just indicated you could. There are Klingons here. If their mission is a legitimate research interest in the planet's organic potential, then you're the one man who can tell me.

At the beginning of this episode, McCoy is studying the organic material on the planet “These roots and soil cultures can be a medical treasure house.” - it’s actually implied that that’s the reason why they are on the planet, and the reason why Kirk would still want McCoy to come with him to tell him if the organic potential is truly that great that Klingons would be interested in it. It’s not as if Kirk truly believes Klingons would be interested in a scientific research, but he wants to give them the benefit of doubt, at least (since he chewed out his bridge crew before this)

I’m not sure if McCoy registered the mention of Klingons in the transporter room when he was trying to stabilize Spock, but Jim’s “There are Klingons here” seems to be the first time it really registered and he needs to do some quick thinking

MCCOY: And if that's not it?

because well, they both know that that’s most likely not it and that reason Kirk just gave was logical, professional, because it was McCoy’s job to do the research on the planet; and now, he gives a personal reason - he wants McCoy with him (there is a precedence of Kirk just taking McCoy along for no reason tbh, the show itself even acknowledges it in the Ultimate Computer)

KIRK: Then I need help. Advice I can trust as much as Spock's.

and this line is chef’s kiss because Jim tells McCoy that he trusts McCoy’s advice and Spock’s advice equally (as was something I said in my The Enemy Within write up - there really isn’t any difference in universe, what people choose to focus on is their interpretation, but Kirk trusts McCoy and Spock equally) - something that can be gleaned from the show itself, but it’s explicitly stated in this scene

MCCOY: I appreciate the compliment, Jim, but

Jim compared him to Spock and McCoy took it as a compliment. Character development lol

But McCoy just doesn’t want to leave Spock alone. As usual, McCoy only thinks about here and now - and this time, it’s Spock - so Kirk needs to remind him of the bigger picture (since Spock can’t do that) which could be interstellar war. It’s actually a nice reverse to Operation -- Annihilate! where it was McCoy who needed to remind Jim of the bigger picture

KIRK: Bones, I'm as worried about Spock as you are, but if the Klingons are breaking the treaty it could be interstellar war.

So Kirk needs to get to the bottom of it and he wants McCoy with him because he’s one of the two people he trusts implicitly. He acknowledges that both of them are equally worried but duty is duty.

---

I’ve seen some people say that Kirk would behave differently in this episode if he had Spock with him instead of McCoy, but based on previous episodes, I have to disagree. Kirk would reject Spock’s objections as well (or worse, Spock might actually agree with Kirk/go along with him with less protest. IF both Spock and McCoy were with him... it would probably still end up the same way, because they tend to listen to Jim whenever Jim explains himself).

THE LAST PEOPLE BARD WAS THINKING OF BEFORE HE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS WERE HIS YOUNG MASTER AND FOUND FAMILY I’M—

Note how I say “lost consciousness” rather than “died” because I refuse to believe our chef has shaken off the mortal coil just yet. Ada’s a trained professional, and they’re at a well-equipped medical facility, so I shall continue to hope! 😤

Okay, I happened to see this flash up on my phone so I'm taking an early lunchbreak to respond.

I agree with @evilbeepthemeep that OP is not the asshole. Here's why, and hopefully this information will help show another viewpoint to you:

1) OP's mom explicitly said BF wasn’t moving in and then moved the BF in. This is an issue for multiple reasons:

A) Take away the family relationship and pretend these are two housemates living together on a 12 month lease and for some reason housemate A pays the rent and housemate B contributes in other ways. Just because housemate A covers the rent doesn't mean they get to suddenly move a third person in after telling housemate B they wouldn't. The house is both the home of housemate A and B and both of them get a say in who is being brought in and have to agree on major changes.

B) Going back to being parent and child, OP has just experienced their authority figure lying to them about major life changes multiple times in a row. OP is legally required to live with a guardian (and I’m assuming legally required to live with OP's mom based on most divorce/bequeathment/single parent arrangements) and OP's mom's actions right now are shattering all trust OP has in their mom and is making them feel unsafe at home. This is a major problem because OP can't legally leave.

2) BF is throwing off incredibly suspect vibes and OP is right to recognize them.

A) BF has been dating OP's mom for 3.5 months and has already moved in. This doesn’t happen unless somebody is willing to break their lease or found somebody to latch onto the moment their lease was expiring. The timing is very suspicious.

B) BF is a professional chef and has taken over the kitchen?! That is a rare level of dedication to see from a professional chef. To the best of my knowledge and experience (any chefs reading this feel free to chime in), cooking is the last thing most chefs want to do after finishing a shift. They've literally just spent hours cooking in a hot, high-stress environment followed by 1-2 hours cleaning and prepping for the next day. Fancy cooking skills are something to be whipped out for showing off on special occasions, not something used in personal time every day. So BF may be one of those rare chefs who cooks regularly at home, but it's more likely that BF is still trying to impress OP's mom (again raising my suspicions as to how quickly he moved in), or OP means that he has rearranged the entire kitchen and throws a fit if anything is out of his preferred order. Whatever the reason is, mom's BF is trying to establish territory, and OP is allowed to have the competely reasonable response of feeling that they're no longer welcomed in their own kitchen. It is on mom's BF, as an adult presumably a couple of decades OP's senior, to recognize this and make OP feel welcome. And BF is not doing this.

C) The pets thing is really, really suspicious. Why would he date somebody who loves animals if he doesn't, and, again, why would he move in so quickly to a place filled with animals he hates? I'm also highly concerned about the birds OP mentioned, although they don't state the cause of death or whether the deaths happened after BF moved in.

D) OP’s mom is weirdly intense about him. Yes, she might just be emotionally immature, but it sounds more like she is responding to being love bombed. This woman has had to raise a child on her own for at least part of the child’s life and should be at least somewhat cautious about relationships with people she's only known for a few months and understanding of OP'S concerns. BF might be overwhelming her with affection to conceal the red flags OP is seeing.

E) Going back to the pets thing, it sounds like BF is trying to push OP out like with the pets. This is very concerning, since BF should be trying to get along with OP, not push them away.

3) Medication has nothing to do with the overarching concern, which is BF’s actions. It sounds as though OP's mom is using medication as a deflection to avoid taking OP's concerns seriously. OP and OP's mom should discuss medication options with a psychiatrist, OP's mom should not use them as a weapon in an argument, which is what appears to be happening here.

You'll notice that I'm making a lot of assumptions and extrapolations based on what OP shared, the same way everybody reading this has to. But I'm looking at this through the lens of somebody almost middle aged, and if we just look at the facts as they are presented, there are some pretty huge red flags being raised on the part of the BF. (Also on the part of OP’s mom, but I interpreted this AITA as being more about if OP's feelings about BF were valid.)

I've used up my lunch break responding, so hopefully this is useful information and helps broaden your point of view.

aita for telling my mom im not comfortable with her bf living with us? (cw, a little abuse and animal death mentions for like 2 seconds)

i, 17 afab x, live with my mom, 39 f, during the school week and my father's mom, 65 f, during the weekend. my mom started dating jon,fake name, 34 m, on valentines day this year. she told me when picking me up with him in the car, meaning i couldn't react at all. the main reason i reacted was she explicitly told me this wouldn't happen. she also explicitly told me he wouldn't be moving in but he never left. he's a professional chef and has taken over our very small kitchen bc of that. he doesn't like our dogs until they're calm, which takes an hour, he doesn't like the cats either and has forced them to live in the hall way which is the size of a closet.

i don't like jon, ive made this known to both my mom and him. in therapy i figured out it wasn't specifically about him, just the fact i haven't lived with a grown man 24/7 since my dad and i watched him abuse my mom when i was 4 and my trauma was responding, not myself.

the other day, i realized i was no longer comfortable in the kitchen bc its his space to me and wasn't eating at this house as a result. i told my mother and was met with her pushing back and pushing for me to go on anti-depressants, something ive been adamantly against for 5 years since prozac made me a zombie.

yesterday, we talked again and she made an off comment, "im sorry me being haply is making you miserable." she quickly realized what he'd said and spent 5 minutes apologizing as i cried.

school gets out in 3 weeks and im planning on just living with my gram mostly during that time and coming back on the weekends to be with my bird, who can't come with me bc all the birds in that house besides him have died. i can't rehome him bc he's scared he's scared of anyone who isn't me and he barely likes when i interact with him...

(sorry this is so long)

aita for telling my mother im not comfortable living with her bf after she told me he wouldn't be her bf or living with us?

Cuddling HC Part 2

I know this is real short, but I’m happy to be working again! Please enjoy~ Amanda

Warning: None.

`(Words 900)

↳{Includes: Genya, Muichiro, Mitsuri}

Genya:

With Genya, cuddling isn’t something that is openly discussed or even acknowledged, you guys have more of an ‘I don’t hate you and you happen to like me’ type of relationship -at the beginning at least, eventually, you break him. However everyone needs a little hug after a long day and as you both fight demons for a living, every day is a long day.

He would not initiate the cuddling whatsoever, so you start small to not scare him by introducing small bits of physical contact. First, you’d rest the palm of your hand on his arm calmly, squeezing lightly or rubbing soothingly. Then, you’d take any moment of pause to rest your head against his shoulder. He froze the first time you did it, but now he sometimes itches to the weight rest against him. It wasn’t till one late night after washing and dressing that you’d stop the man, wrapping your arms as best as you could around his whole being to pull him in close, missing the way his questioning glare shifted into something of warm gaze. You held him for a second...then two, releasing him shyly for fear that you’d made him uncomfortable. “I’m sorry I didn't think-” “That was nice” his comment was low, but you still heard it.

After that, there was no stopping this man from wiggling himself into your grasp at one point or another, it was like a child who waited every night for his teddy bear. He’d never ask with words, it was always the small quivers of his thin-set lips when he was anxious, it was in the way he would hesitantly brush his fingers against any part of you he could get a hold of, it was especially obvious in his eyes that swam with a sort of desperation only you could understand. So, when you were both tucked away from the dangers and worries of the rest of the world, you’d sling your arms around him again, pressing his head against your chest, nuzzling into each other's warmth with a soft sigh.

Muichiro:

Muichiro’s favorite activity before meeting you was sitting around to watch the day slowly turn to night, so now that you are in his life, his favorite thing to do is be with you (bonus points if you're both doing nothing together). Cuddling was a natural activity that simply happened; you’d cuddle in all places and positions.

On sunny days you’d find yourselves outside, enjoying the cool breeze that helped to combat the hot rays from above. You’d lay against the plush grass without worrying about stains or getting dirty with Muichiro’s head balanced lazily on your stomach. His fingers would feel around for yours if they weren’t already buried into his long strands, twirling them around each of your nubs when you got tired of braiding them. Sometimes you’d hum a tune you’d heard once as a child or while in some town, playing this silly game with Muichiro where you’d make up lyrics and he’d have to continue them.

When the rain turned your usual spot to mud, Muichiro would build some semblance of a fort near the fireplace while you boiled tea. “ Careful Mui, it’s hot” you warned, placing the steaming glass cups on the floor, Muichiro pushed together the cushions laying back while bringing you with him. He hummed first this time, singing a silly tune about a fish who wanted to visit the moon that made you laugh. Life felt simple and sweet.

Mitsuri:

Mitsuri wanted nothing more than to die knowing she had an epic, romantic love story like the ones in the fables she heard as a girl, a bond that she found in you. Cuddling with Mitsuri was special in all sorts of ways and always felt like the right way to settle things. Sometimes cuddling was a chance to be vulnerable together or a way to talk about each other’s day when free time had been sparse for either of you.

One of your favorite types of cuddles followed a big meal enjoyed together. Neither of you were professional chefs, but on special nights you both would go all out and cook too many delicious dishes that you always finished. You’d become so full that you'd allow the dirty dishes to pile up in the sink, you’d both change into comfy sleepwear to get into bed. On some nights, you both have just enough energy to stay up to talk about life, but on others, it was a bit harder, the warmth of each other pressed together and the swollen bellies made sleep sound so good.

Sometimes cuddles are born out of relief only a demon slayer would understand, the kind where your stomach can’t leave the floor and your throat is too tight to speak. Some missions are harder than others, especially at the rank you’re both at, so when Mitsuri couldn’t be found after one mission you became restless and riddled with worry, horrible ‘what if’s?’ drowning out all reason. When you found her cut-up and disorientated, you couldn’t help but sob at her side as medic’s tended to her; she was hurt badly, but alive. You babied her for every night she was in recovery (and some after because she loved the attention), cuddling her even if your arms were asleep.

- the black jackets are jon, martin, tim, sasha, georgie, and melanie, and the finalists are jon and martin. the winner is probably martin, but it doesn't really matter, because the actual plot of this is a jonmartin rivals-to-friends-to-lovers slowburn

- annabelle is the one who puts all of the film and audio together at the end. jmart watch the show once it's put on television and go 'what the fuck i didn't say any of that' because that's how reality tv is babey

- martin is one of those chefs who does poorly at the beginning but gets better and ends up in the final two. even though he's not on the same team as jon, jon is like 'this guy sucks' and maybe martin messes something up for jon early on and jon decides he does not like martin.

- jon is so nervous that he's going to screw up and get sent home early (he doesn't have formal culinary training and feels deeply underqualified) so he's very stiff and overly professional at the beginning. he relaxes over time as he becomes more confident in his own cooking and as he does well at challenges and dinner services.

- somewhere around chapter/episode 5, martin tells jon that he doesn't have any formal culinary training and that he said he did in order to get into the restaurant job he had prior to coming on the show. he's been cooking for his mother since he was ten though, and jon surprises himself by saying that that's a lot more impressive than studying technique in france or something. that's the catalyst of their transition from rivals into friends

- somewhere around episode 8, jude (who got switched to the red team a few episodes prior) gets eliminated, but on the dinner service before she does, there's an incident in the kitchen and jon's hand gets burnt pretty badly (not so badly that he has to go home, and he fights through the rest of dinner service because of course he does). he insists he doesn't have to go to the hospital for it, and elias reluctantly agrees and has the medic look at it. in the dorms later, martin helps jon unwrap it and put more burn cream on it and change the bandages and... yeah <3

- daisy and jon do not get along at first, and daisy actually tries to sabotage jon early in the season/fic. jon nearly gets eliminated because of it and he is not happy. then, a good few episodes later, the red team wins a challenge and they go on some sort of outdoorsy award and something happens and jon saves daisy from getting seriously injured. they're on better terms after that.

- when jon, tim, sasha, martin, melanie, and georgie get black jackets, elias (like every actual season of hell's kitchen) brings their family members/friends in for them to see. jon gets his grandmother, tim his brother, sasha her mother, georgie her best friend alex, and melanie some of her ghosthunt uk (the restaurant) friends. the only person martin has is his mother, and they tell him that she was too sick to come, but he can't shake the feeling that she just didn't want to. she didn't even agree to make him a video. it's a very awkward affair, and after the challenge (which tim wins) jon stands by martin while they're... idk, peeling 200 pounds of potatoes or something and they talk about it and they talk about a lot of their personal lives. for most of the competition, they're very aware that they're on camera at all times, but jon decides that being there for martin is more important than worrying about that.

- jon wins the next black jacket challenge and, when asked who he wants to invite on the reward, invites martin. they get to go wine tasting in a beautiful vinyard together and then they get some time to sit in the vinyard and just relax. martin probably realized he had a crush on jon around... episode/chapter 8? pretty soon after his admission that he doesn't have formal training. this episode is when jon realizes that he has a crush on martin, and the wine tasting suddenly seems very romantic and he gets very flustered. martin just thinks he's getting nervous since they're getting closer to the end of the competition.

- it's martin and jon in the finals. martin has tim, melanie, basira, and agnes on his bridage and jon has sasha, georgie, daisy, and gerry. in the middle of the entrees, something goes very wrong in martin's kitchen (not because of martin, because agnes burns like... ten racks of lamb or something ridiculous like that) and it looks like martin might not even be able to finish and he's freaking out just a little bit, so jon does something incredibly stupid and tells sasha to take charge of the kitchen for a moment and goes over into the other kitchen and pulls martin aside and takes martin's hands in his and is like 'it's okay, you're okay, everything's going to be okay. you're extremely talented and an amazing chef and an amazing person and i love you and this is not your fault and you're going to go back out there and get things back on track.'

jon goes back to his kitchen, elias yelling at him the whole way, and martin kicks agnes out and gets his kitchen back under control and they have no other issues that night. and martin's brain completely skips over the 'i love you' until the end of service, when the adrenaline wears off and they start to clear down and jon gives him this smile and suddenly martin remembers and he's like 'oh fuck'

but jon doesn't say anything about it so martin assumes he hadn't meant to say it, because of course he didn't, because they're competing for a job and $250,000 and he probably just heard jon wrong or something. jon probably said 'i love your cooking' and martin's just being stupid and letting his crush get away from him. so they both go back and sit in the dorms and wait for elias to call them up to his office. meanwhile, jon also remembers that he accidentally let i love you slip and he's having a bit of a crisis about it because on the one hand he meant it, but on the other hand he should not have said it then and martin hasn't said anything, so maybe he didn't even hear.

still, martin needs to thank jon. so he's eventually like 'thank you for what you did back there. i don't think i would have made it through service without what you said.' then, after a moment, because it is a competition: 'why did you help me? you could have let me drown and you'd have a secure win'

and jon just shrugs and says, 'because you needed help, and i... i care about you. i didn't want to see you fail. you are a good chef, martin, and i... i know you deserve this job just as much as me. you can go work at elias's restaurant and i can go back to mine and... and that'll be okay, if that's what happens'

and martin realizes suddenly that jon lives across the country from him normally and he doesn't know if he'll be able to see jon after this (chefs are busy people, after all, not a lot of time for family and such) and before he can really think about it he's like 'i wouldn't be okay with that' and then when jon just looks at him he clarifies, 'i... i don't want to just go back to living in [washington?], working all day and coming home to an empty apartment, and you'll go back to [new york?] and i... will i even see you again? because it's been so nice, being here, being with you, and i want to see you again, jon. every day.' he hesitates a moment, then decides fuck it, if i'm wrong, at least i'll only be embarrassed for a little while longer and says, 'what you said during service. did you mean it?'

and jon, tentatively, is like, 'that you're a good chef? yes, martin, i meant it, of course i did' and martin's like 'no, the... the other thing you said. right in the middle of it all. i- i don't know if i heard you right, and i just... i need to know if you meant it'

and it would be easy for jon to say no, to pretend like he didn't. but instead, he sits next to martin on the couch and takes martin's hand in his and nods and says, 'i... i've meant it for quite some time, i think' and he smiles at martin, a little bit shy, and martin's overwhelmed with affection and he reaches for jon's face, leans forward, and--

and the phone rings. unfortunately. because elias made a decision

- martin's door opens and jon's doesn't. jon thinks he should feel crushed, and he does feel disappointed, but mostly he's just so, so happy for martin. martin is stunned, and tim and sasha and georgie and melanie and basira and daisy are waiting for him below to congratulate him. martin's stuck in a round of thank yous when he turns and sees jon, who's run down the stairs to join the celebration and is looking at martin with those same eyes he would get when he was determined to win a challenge or finish a dish that needed two more minutes in one minute. and then jon just hugs martin, so tightly martin can barely breathe, and he mumbles into martin's neck, 'i would very much like to kiss you, but i very much do not want our first kiss to be on national television' and martin laughs and hugs jon tightly in return and mumbles back, 'i love you too, jon. just in case it wasn't obvious' and even though jon just lost, he's never been happier

- (they watch the show when it comes out together half a year later, in the little bit of free time they have around running their own respective restaurants, and they spend the whole time picking it apart

jon: okay i did not say that, where did they even get that from??

martin: god do i really look like that from behind...

jon: oh christ. martin, i- i think they thought i wanted to have sex with you. ugh, they've put on weird romantic music. red lighting. i hate this. i clearly did not--no, martin, don't give me that look, you know what i mean.

martin: wow, this makes us look like terrible chefs

and, at the end:

jon: christ, of course they were recording us in the dorms after the last service. this is a cooking competition, not a romance.

martin: eh, it was a bit of a romance.

jon: hush, i'm trying to watch. they're about to announce the winner. i don't have much hope for this chef martin; after all, he did burn that risotto back in episode 2--

martin, trying not to laugh while he glares at jon: oh my god jon let it go)
